In Balochistan, Pakistan Armed Forces killed 50 militants linked to the newly designated Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO), Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). This follows the US State Department's classification of BLA and its Majeed Brigade as terrorist groups.

Pakistani officials have welcomed the U.S. State Department's decision to designate the separatist Balochistan Liberation Army as a foreign terrorist organization.

Today, the Department of State has designated The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and its alias, The Majeed Brigade, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), and added the Majeed Brigade as an alias to BLA’s previous Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) designation.
